Grand Bend Road
—Continued from Page 1
summer montlts the heavy traffie
on Main St. would find an out-
let on Oak St, with "parked cars
all over the place."
Reeve Dalton and Councillor J.
Hood felt that the traffic on Main
St. would not be affected by even
10 percent •as Grand Bend is a
summer resort, and people- come
to view the lake and would not
bother Oak St. or the side streets.
The extension of Oak St. is not
a major traffic relief. Traffic
lights at the junction of No. 21
Highway and No. 81 Highway
would relieve the congestion and
bumper to bumper line of cars.
The council was unanimous on
this point,
Consider Traffic Lights
Mr. Wells expressed a strong
desire on behalf of the ratepayers
for traffie lights, He was ititorrn-
ed by Reeve Dalton that the mat-
ter was..being discussed with the
province, and that he would have
more information later.
Councillor C. M. Chapman felt
that the extension of Oak St,
would give the fire department
a chance to work if a fire ever
started on Oak St. At present Oak
St. is a dead, end at both ends
and the fire truck would have to
cross Main ,St. "which. is nearly
impossible during the summer."
;Councillor Hood proposed a
campaign for public education on
Oak St. He said that signs should
be erected on Oak St. and adjoin-
ing roads pointing out that Oak
St. is not a through street.
Mr. Wells asked for, assurance
that Oak St. would be restricted
for residential premises only. He
said that the residents on Oak
St. did not want "hot dog stands
and the like," to open on Oak
St., just because it will join No.
21 Highway.
.Council informed him that it
would have to seek legal advice
before suck an .assurance could
be ,liven.
